Overview
About Me
I love meeting new people,travelling, learning about their culture,learning new languages. I just learnt how to surf & snowboard (not at the same time though) and I love it! Am looking for time to practise whenever I can. I dive, it's a shame not to when southeast Asia boasts many of the top diving spots in the world. I opened up my home because I love sharing stories with fellow travelers and I love showing people around! I am courteous, clean, tidy with loads of energy. I love to cook and share a meal! I started on CS with the intention of hosting and meeting many amazing people from all over the world. Also I am very handy to have around in a medical emergency!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To Meet new people.
Interests
Travel, food,meeting new people, diving, surfing, snowboarding. I found most people are friendly when you show up with a smile. In quite a conservative country, I am very open and I believe in the freedom to be whoever you want to be, so rest easy if you're looking for a host whose not going to impose her views on you. I love learning about a country & getting to know new people. I have a knack with languages and love learning new languages. I love food, exploring little holes-in-the wall & trying new things. My husband (in the photo)has travelled way more extensively than me all over the world & finally settled in Asia. He is a film-maker & loves conversations about international politics and geopolitics,so anyone in need of stimulating conversations,you are in luck here!
Also,we have google translate,so don't worry, whatever language you speak, we are welcoming!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spent 52 hours on a journey from Miami Vienna once:Miami to London by flight, then from London to Vienna by bus,which broke down,took ages to fix,then I was dropped off in Prague's train station, missed the train, got a new train & finally reached Vienna in the same clothes. Beat my previous record of 32 hours in a bus from London to Krakow.
Missed visiting the louvre in Paris twice, because it was closed, I didn't know that till I got there.
Experienced the 24 hour sunlight in Tromso, Norway.
Teach, Learn, Share
I speak fluent english, cantonese,mandarin,indonesian,malay; some japanese and tamil. My husband speaks fluent english,polish; some german and french.
I am a doctor at a nearby hospital so you get easy access to medical treatment if you need.(hopefully not!)
Husband is a film maker, avid traveller.
Good conversation,a comfy bed and great stories are what you can expect.
Small gifts are always welcomed.
